Review summary

I have arthritis and couldn't use the pool. It had a ladder instead of steps to enter the pool. My daughter is 13 years old and weighs 85 pounds. She couldn't do part of the water slide because of her size. We went to Maine this past summer and she was allowed on a comparable slide then.  The excursion to Atlantis was misleading. I purchased it online in advance. I paid $67 per person (total of 4) and had to leave the tour early because we couldn't keep up.  We saw a few fish but couldn't go to the beach and other things mentioned in the excursion. Other than that it was fantastic. The entertainment and food was great. I took 2 teenagers and the teen program was

amazing.

Small but efficient. Only slept and showered there. Spent most of our time exploring.

Ship tip

The girls loved the Garden Cafe and I enjoyed The Manhattan Room and Savor. Did like being able to eat 24/7.

Wasn't able to go because of choppy waters. We weren't able to go to the beach in the Bahamas because of circumstances. Big disappointment.

Nassau, Bahamas

Except for the problem with Atlantis excursion it was great. We didn't have time to enjoy it.

Why did your daughters size prevent her from the water slides? Maybe it's been so long since I had a 13 y/o daughter but 85 lbs doesn't sound too bad...maybe a little below average but doesn't seem to small for the slides.

over all it sound like you had a good time.It would be nice if the pools were bigger so they could have stairs not enough room on cruise ships
